DM> Yes, it's by design. It was added in Nov-2015 with this commit:
DM> http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/sbbs3/userdat.c?r1=1.160
DM> &r2=1.16 1

DM> ~0 (of a 32-bit integer) is short-hand for 0xffffffff.

    I'm using Sync 3.16c and not have Days of News Messages field
    on New User Values. How can i upgrade this?

    TIA
